I've heard people talk about them here in the forums, but I never knew what they were. Could someone explain it to me??
I think in the thread titled "What grade is Fur Elise by Bach?", someone posted it as a "4"... What does that mean??
Thanks!!

In US many do not know what grades are. They use them in mainly UK and many other countries. The have grades from 1-8 and three standards of pass. A straight pass (100%), pass with distinction (A), and pass with merit (B). There are of course theory and practical. So they usually have like Practical Grade 1, then when you pass the exam you go to Grade 2 and so on until Grade 8. The best translation for grades is levels. If you are not from UK or Australia (e.g. Asia), when you take theory test the paper is usually prepared from usually one of these countries depending on which music center you learn from. For practical test the teacher usually picks the song. And in most books they will state the grade of the piece.

I think it should be more like.
1-2 Beginner
3-5 Intermediate
6-8 Advance.
I wouldn't consider 1-5 as beginner because Beethoven's Fur Elise (Full Version) is quite intermediate.

I'm grade seven and I'd say Fur elise is between grades 3 and 6. I'd also reackon that grade seven is advanced because you have to learn diminished sevenths and double octaves and so far I haven't met anyone who knows what they are. Therefore I'm going to fail my exams being not able to play them so if anyone knows anything about them please let me know. I believe they're both some kind of scale.

In music, a double octave is an interval composed of two octaves, or fifteen notes, in diatonic progression.
